In ancient Greece the wreath of honor placed upon the heads of heroes and winners of games was made from the leaves and branches of this species.

The wood is strong and elastic, used for carving and marquetry.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Soort geurige groenblijvende boom, inheems in het Middellandse Zeegebied, die ook elders op grote schaal wordt geteeld. De soort wordt 6-18 meter hoog en heeft stugge, alternerende ovale bladeren die dof en leerachtig zijn, met een lengte van ongeveer 8 centimeter. De bladranden zijn glad en vaak golvend, en worden als keukenkruid gebruikt. In het oude Griekenland was de erekrans die op de hoofden van helden en winnaars van sportwedstrijden werd geplaatst gemaakt van de bladeren en takken van deze soort. De kleine en onopvallende bloemen zijn geelachtig of groenachtig wit. De vrucht is een groene, paarse of zwartachtige bes met één zaadje, die een geurige olie produceert als men erin knijpt. Het hout is sterk en elastisch, en wordt gebruikt voor snijwerk en marqueterie.
